I hate paying for the public school system the way it stands now.
I would not mind even paying higher taxes if they got rid of the NEA and gave all school districts local control, with the following mandates: Just the basics (math, language, science, history with NO bias - just the facts, Maam), no social passing, no publically funded sports or other "fun" stuff, no tenure, no free meals, no babysitting service (IE after school care, all day kindergarten, etc.) no diversity training and other PC stuff.
If something does'nt work, it's time to give it up and try something new.
